Basketball: Albicy scores points, Strazel shows up, the Blues are solid… The lessons of the gathering. France de basketball did the job during this window.

Overall solid and serious on the defensive level, the French hardly impressed on the other side of the field. They dropped offensive rebounds in spades against Croatia (13) and in the first period against Bosnia (8). Not to mention the ball losses (16 and 15). “There are problems, but the difficulties are also cyclical,” judges Vincent Collet.
